Mashed Potato Stuffed Hot dogs

Mashed Potato Stuffed Hot dogs  - this is something my mom made when I was a child that I remember as a comfort food, and something my husband's mom also made when he was little - it was a definite bonding moment for us! We both love them!  I use left over mashed potatoes, but you could use instant or Simply Potatoes - just warm up the potatoes before you use them in this recipe, they will be easier to work with.


1 pkg hot dogs
Approx 2-1/2 cups mashed potatoes, warmed up
Mustard, any kind, but dijon is the best
1 T melted butter

ready to go into the oven
Slit the hotdogs lengthwise, about 3/4 of the way down; open and flatten, but do not separate halves. Spread with good layer of dijon mustard.  Mound mashed potatoes the length of each hot dog, brush with melted butter. Bake in 425 degree oven about 25-30 min.
